Woods restrictions lifted in all counties except Annapolis 
The restrictions on travel and activities in the woods are lifted for all counties in Nova Scotia except for Annapolis County.

There is a province-wide ban on open fires which means campfires are prohibited until further notice. Gas stoves and barbeques can be used for cooking. Charcoal barbeques are permitted with charcoal only. Portable lanterns are permitted.

Mickey Hill Provincial Park, Annapolis County remains closed because it primarily offers a wooded trail experience.
